Hail storm damage?

[rs73]

How's the storm damage count goes? It was such a big storm last night, many cars in our car park got flooded. My bro's brand new Accord Euro got wet carpet at the back. My car was still dry, luckily somehow....

All downstair (ground floor) neighbours were flooded. We're on first floor and lucky no leak from above. The weather bureau said there might be another storm tonight, I just hope it won't be as bad as last night.

Hope everyone is ok...

i almost got myself into trouble last nite at about 3am on springvale rd infront of the glen. saw there was alot of water on the road but a small truck was driving thru so i decided to give it a go in my mums 02 corolla. drove a third of the way thru and thought to myself "what have i got myself into". the water level started at 30cm deep then right in the middle got to about 70cm....when i saw one of those garbage bins floating on the road, thats when i started to shiit myself:D kept the revs up so water wouldnt get up the exhaust and stall the engine and somehow got out. just hopin theres no damage to the engine itself.

Is there a chance of any damage to a car's mechanical when water rose up to door sill level, which means half the rim is soaked, and all underneath of car will be immersed with water including oil sump?

That's the level in our carpark... my car was soaked up to door sill but lucky water still doesnt get in. 1 cm higher it would have been in.

inark, post some pics up of the storm if you gottem!

Our garage flooded, but thats nothing in comparision to what some people have gone/going through.

2 of my mates cars were seized when their cars got bogged in waist deep of water.

my car was under a car port, so no hail damage, although my gutters are in all sorts of wierd shapes and the corrugated aliminum sheets on top of my shed look like swiss cheese. All plant life around the house has been destroyed (they'll grow back) coz the branches are broken etc. but that's about it. No major damage.

Car is perfectly fine. Oh my TV antenna ended up in my neighbours lawn...

rofl monkey.... hows the reception?

rianto - shouldnt do any damage at that level...

Yeah it was a pretty bad storm something like the worst in 100 years!!

I was even too scare to drive today because they reckon there was going to be a second round.

End up catching the bus hehe

what's worse was my mum came from syd today and I told her that we had a hailstorm and flash flood, and she looked around (after the SES crew had cleaned up n the bright sunshien had dried everything up) looks at me ang goes "sure there was..."

I'm lucky, I live in Geelong and we didn't get ANY rain at all! I thought we would of copped it hard too, but nothing!

I'm not sure the words 'lucky' and 'Geelong' should be used in the same sentence!!

melbourne weather...

[rs73]

Just washed the car today....

Upon closer inspection looks like I've copped some hail damage on the roof. Not really a dent, but if you look at it the surface ripples a little bit where it has been pounded by the ice...

Can't see much on the bonnet, but found one tiny hail chip where the paint has gone, exposing the metal.

Well there was no storm really to speak of in sunny Lynbrook, but there was a spectacular light show on the horizon. Found out today that my step dads car was written off in the storm in Lillydale. the insurance company won't let him buy it back and that sucks, so anyone got a nice R30 skyline wagon or Pootara (pintara)! for about 3k?

My dads car (EJ heh) moved about 30 metres down the street, he lives in preston. Fence fell down aswell.
